September is full of flowers

Seeing that Shen Man was going with Wu Niannian, Qing Ning couldn't help but hold her and warned her in a low voice, "Xiao Man, why are you going to the First Prince's place? Do you know what and how this so-called 'fighting meeting' is going to be? of?"

Shen Man said, "The gate supervisor once said that I was not allowed to have anything to do with the Taige when I was taking the exam. I will join the First Prince's camp so that people will not be suspicious."

"But..." Qing Ning frowned and hesitated, and finally couldn't help telling, "You can't trust Wu Niannian in anything."

Shen Man let out a "hmm" and followed Wu Niannian away.She has always had doubts about Wu Niannian, but at the same time, she feels that she and herself have an inexplicable sense of speculation.

The defense of the capital seems to be strengthening, and patrols wearing red tasseled helmets and armor and riding big horses pass by everywhere.

Vendors in the market were orderly hawking, but some of the normally open shops were suspiciously closed.

Passing through Sanquhe Lane, one arrives in front of a spacious mansion, on which there are a few big characters written in golden lacquer, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, which are inscribed by the emperor himself.The eldest prince Zhu Kui, although he has already grown up, has not been entrusted for a long time. He has not become the crown prince, and he has not even been able to get the position of prince. This shows that the current emperor treats him indifferently.

Wu Niannian came to vote for him, in fact, he was the best choice, but Princess Decheng's mansion was full of people, not to mention self-recommendation, even if it was a needle to enter, it would be difficult to get in; in front of the gate supervisor's Taige, twenty teams of majestic halberd-wielding soldiers were blocked Even a fly could not fly in; even at the front of Ning Xiangfu, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were temporarily transferred, and the inside and outside were surrounded by three floors to prevent people from recklessly climbing over the wall and entering.

Only here is the eldest prince, the door is open, and all educated people are welcome to seek refuge.

Having said that, not everyone can be fooled.

Shen Man saw in front of the First Prince's mansion, there was a middle-aged man with loose clothes and a breeze like a moon standing there.Anyone who wants to go in will pass in front of him and let him "take a look".

Seeing Shen Man staring at the man, Wu Niannian said, "This man is No. 4 in the Tianwen Gate of the Yin-Yang Dao Examination the year before last, Zhong Fei. This man is born blind, but has a unique pair of "wisdom eyes" that can discern people's hearts , to predict the future."

Shen Man was amazed, "There is such a capable person in the world? If the future can be predicted, then according to this person's ability, he should be able to live in the Yin Yang prison instead of guarding in front of the eldest prince's mansion. Isn't this an overkill?"

"You're right. He was originally in the Yin Yang Prison, but he was kicked out for some reason. There are rumors that he was kicked out because he had been drinking for a long time, unconscious, and offended the Taige. Moreover, his 'forecasting skills' seem to be getting worse and worse. Since he saw people for the eldest prince last year, only three out of ten predictions were correct, so everyone is more and more suspicious of his yin and yang attainments. This year he ended up in The result of the matchmaker at the door is not unexpected."

Wu Niannian said again, "No matter what, we still have to pass him to see the First Prince, come with me."

Shen Man worried, "What if he sees that I'm an unlucky ghost and won't let me in?"

Wu Niannian showed a contemptuous expression, "I'm also a born unlucky ghost, won't he let me in?" Then he took out a piece of crystal clear white jade from his bosom, and said, "Just give him this when the time comes, I promise he will let you in."

When Shen Man heard what Wu Niannian said, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile, "So we are all unlucky ghosts, by the way, Niannian, how old are you this year?"

Wu Niannian seemed to regret the phone call just now, and paused, "I never know my real birthday, but what is certain is that I am older than you, so call me sister."

Shen Man was reluctant, "How is that possible! I must be older than you, if you want to call me sister!"

Wu Niannian rolled her eyes, "Don't even think about it!"

The two lined up at the door while bickering. Zhong Fei stood in front of Shen Man, with a black cloth covering his eyes.He is tall and full of head, with a thin face.When Shen Man stood in front of him and looked at the black cloth on his face, the vision he saw in Tongue Temple flashed before his eyes again.

Countless shrill screams rang out in my ears, there were broken limbs and arms everywhere, and the ground was bloody, and my nose seemed to smell a strong smell of blood.It made Shen Man bend over, retching for a while.

Zhong Fei stayed silent the whole time, but his fingers hidden in the wide sleeves were trembling slightly. ,

"Young man, you also want to participate in the 'Douhui'?" He said calmly, without any waves.

"En." Shen Man nodded solemnly.

"Why do you want to join the First Prince's camp?" He asked.

Shen Man thought for a while, and said, "Because the eldest prince will recruit talents."

"Oh, that's right." Zhong Fei was silent for a while, and pursed his lips.Finally, "You can go in."

Shen Man froze for a moment, unwilling to believe that it went so smoothly.But Wu Niannian hastily grabbed her arm and led her inside.When Shen Man was about to leave, he heard Zhong Fei say in a low voice behind him, "I finally waited for you to come..."

"What?" Shen Man stopped and asked.

Zhong Fei looked back, his sleeves were blown by the phoenix, and his hair was dancing lightly.He turned his face to Shen Man, and then slowly burst into a deep smile on Qingjun's face.

This smile made Shen Man feel terrified, as if he was a prey and had already fallen into Zhong Fei's trap.

"Let's go," Wu Niannian urged, "They're all inside."

"Yeah." Shen Man could only temporarily clear the messy thoughts in his mind, thinking that when he went back at night, he would ask Qing Ning about the origin of this person named Zhong Fei.

It was said that they were meeting the eldest prince, but both Shen Man and Wu Niannian could only stand at the end of the line, and they couldn't even see the eldest prince's face clearly.

However, Wu Niannian happily padded her feet and turned sideways, wanting to see more clearly the appearance of some eldest princes, her eyes were shining brightly.

"Unexpectedly, the eldest prince was born quite handsome. I heard that he has never been married. I don't know who will be the prince and concubine in the future. He must have a bright future and have no worries about food and clothing."

Shen Man smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wu Niannian thought for a while, then changed her mind, "However, the First Prince has not been titled yet, so marrying him may not be a good idea." She thought about it carefully, and suddenly hope came, "If you talk about marrying someone, it would be best to marry the current gate supervisor. It's over!"

Shen Man coughed heavily, his eyes widened, frightened. "Didn't you say that the gate supervisor might be an old man in his seventies and eighties? Why did you suddenly want to marry her? Since the gate supervisor is so old, he must have a family member. Would you be happy to have a girl who is about your age call you grandmother? "

Wu Niannian hesitated and said, "But the gate supervisor is in charge of the Yin-Yang family in the world, and he is the supreme person in the Yin-Yang Dao. He is so mysterious and courageous. Even if it is true as you said, as long as he can like me, I can still consider being his grandmother. , Pick up a few ready-made granddaughters and hold them in your arms for teasing."

Shen Man couldn't laugh or cry, "You have really strong taste."

Wu Niannian pinched the delicate flesh on Shen Man's arm with her fingers, squeezed Shen Man and said, "I don't believe you don't want to marry him, he is simply more attractive than today."

The speaker has no intention of speaking, but the listener has intention.

marry her?

Shen Man thought of the trace of tenderness on his lips, and her breath when she approached him, and his face became red and hot without knowing it.

Wu Niannian looked at her face and said "huh", then was interrupted by a sudden loud voice in front of her.

"For this 'Douhui', the venue will be arranged in the 'Kongtong Temple' outside the city for a period of three days. Those who get their names will go back and prepare. Someone will pick you up in front of the house tomorrow morning. The selected ones People will have the opportunity to meet the current emperor and the gate supervisor of the current dynasty, please use your skills to win glory for the eldest prince!"

Shen Man turned around in surprise and asked Wu Niannian, "Three days? Kongtong Temple?"

Wu Niannian shrugged, "Don't stare at me, I don't know it will be like this. But at least we have been to Kongtong Temple and know the secret of Master Jingjing. This is our advantage, and we should be lucky."

When Shen Man thought of that lecherous bald head, he said with a smile, "I really want to visit Master again."

"Hush—" Wu Niannian said calmly, "Quiet, now that Zhong Fei is picking someone, the old man blesses us all to go!"

Zhong Fei slowly thought about the candidates who could go to Kongtong Temple. The eldest prince prepared ten people, and now he has read the eighth one.

Wu Niannian clasped her hands together and kept praying, but Shen Man had a premonition that one of the remaining two places would definitely be her.

Zhong Fei seemed to feel something, and turned his face to Shen Man.Then Man Man said, "The last two places."

Wu Niannian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and everyone present held their breath and focused.

"Wu Niannian, people from the capital..."

Wu Niannian was stunned for a moment, but she hadn't thought about it yet.Zhong Fei continued, "Shen Man, a person from the capital."
